More tractors needed for the Zambezi region

Home Farmers Forum More tractors needed for the Zambezi region

 

Windhoek

The Zambezi region representatives of Creative Entrepreneurial Solutions Namibia Conservation Agriculture Programme (CESNCAP) Field Consultants Richard Sihani and Doreen Saisai together with lead farmer Alfred Tumelo – have emphasised the need for more tractors fitted with rip furrow implements.

They further implored farmers to continue with their training and exposure to CA.

“CA used to be something we heard or read about being practiced in Zambia only. Now we are practicing it ourselves in Namibia. I have had visitors from the Kavango regions, and even international visitors, at my CA farm. The interest in CA is growing at a fast rate and as a lead farmer, I am in the position to share my knowledge and experience with other farmers and other CA stakeholders,” says Tumelo. “Co-operation with regional councils, MAWF (Ministry of Agriculture, Water and Forestry) extension technicians and traditional authorities’ representatives have been vital for mobilisation and co-ordination on the ground in the 57 constituencies where NCAP is implemented. The fact that we have managed to reach out to more than 11,000 farmers bears witness to the massive effort of the 432 lead farmers and our implementing partners working relentlessly on the ground, often under challenging conditions. Kongalend’s Lima Power loan enabled NCAP to take a giant leap forward. To all of you, and to the USAID OFDA, I express my sincere gratitude,” says Nyati.
